College football: No. 1 Oregon, No. 2 Kansas State fall

Baylor QB Nick Florence waltzes into the end zone untouched in the first quarter against No. 2 Kansas State on Saturday night.

Jordan Williamson hit a 37-yard field goal in overtime and No. 14 Stanford upset No. 1 Oregon, 17-14, in Eugene, Ore., denying the Ducks a chance to clinch the Pac-12 North and derailing their straight shot at the BCS championship game.

Meanwhile, in Waco Texas, Glasco Martin ran for three touchdowns, Lache Seastrunk had 185 yards rushing with an 80-yard score and Baylor again upset the title-game picture with a late-season victory, beating second-ranked Kansas State, 52-24.

A week after the Wildcats (10-1, 7-1 Big 12) took over the No. 1 spot in the BCS standings following Alabama’s loss, another team will get its chance on top.

If both Stanford and Oregon win their final conference games next weekend, both will finish with one Pac-12 loss, which means Stanford will win the head-to-head matchup and go to the conference championship game for a chance to play in the Rose Bowl against UCLA.

Stanford (9-2, 7-1) will visit the Bruins. Oregon (10-1, 7-1) will play rival Oregon State in the annual Civil War rivalry game in Corvallis.

The loss snapped a 13-game winning streak for the Ducks, which was the longest current streak in the nation.

It was a longer night for Kansas State and its Heisman hopeful quarterback Collin Klein, who tossed three interceptions.

Nick Florence, the successor to Heisman winner Robert Griffin III, threw both of his touchdowns in the first half when the Bears jumped out to a 28-7 lead.

On the same November weekend last season, Baylor upset then fifth-ranked Oklahoma after two teams ahead of the Sooners had already lost that day.

No. 3 NOTRE DAME 38, WAKE FOREST 0 (at South Bend, Ind.) — Everett Golson threw touchdown passes of 50, 34 and 2 yards, Cierre Wood scored on a 68-yard run and the Fighting Irish finished the season undefeated at home for the first time since 1998.

Notre Dame, which improved to 11-0 for the first time since 1989, needs to beat Southern California to finish a regular season undefeated for the first time since 1988, the last time the Irish won a national championship.

With Oregon and Kansas State losing, Notre Dame is likely to climb to No. 1.

The Demon Deacons (5-6) fell to 1-33 all time against top five teams, their lone win coming against No. 4 Tennessee in 1946.

The victory virtually assures the Irish of a berth in a BCS game. If the Irish beat USC, they’ll likely wind up in the BCS title game.

No. 6 OHIO STATE 21, WISCONSIN 14, OT (at Madison, Wis.) — Carlos Hyde scored on a 2-yard run in overtime and the Buckeyes stayed perfect. Ohio State (11-0, 7-0 Big Ten) is ineligible for the postseason as part of its punishment for NCAA violations under ex-coach Jim Tressel.

No. 9 TEXAS A&M 47, SAM HOUSTON STATE 28 (at College Station, Texas) — Johnny Manziel threw for 267 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 100 yards and two more scores in a bit more than a half for the Aggies (9-2).

Jones finished with 554 passing yards to break his own school record. He needed a terrific game to offset the performances of West Virginia’s tandem of Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey.

No. 17 UCLA 38, No. 21 USC 28 (at Pasadena, Calif.) — Brett Hundley passed for 234 yards and a touchdown and rushed for two more scores as the Bruins (9-2, 6-2) clinched the Pac-12 South title and snapped a five-game losing streak in the crosstown rivalry.
